I'm helping someone find an artist for a graphic novel. Please give me suggestions for living artists who can do all of the following:
- real world references, including specific places/ styles
- fantasy characters
- fantasy worldbuilding
- maximalism/ detail in the art
- work looks great

I'm back from maternity leave and in desperate need of some work. If you're looking for some fun colourful cover designs I'm your guy! Here are some book covers I loved illustrating
Contact me at [email protected]
See portfolio link below

Shares & some reassuring words would be much appreciated

A digital illustrated book cover of Cruise Life - Raining Cats and Dogs by Reese Eschmann. It shows a Black girl chasing dogs and cats on the deck of a cruise while her big brother tries to catch up while holding a cat in his arms.

A digital illustrated book cover for the title Unfadeable by Maurice Broaddus. It portrays a mixed Black girl walking by with her pit bull pet, a bridge is seen overhead her, with some cranes in the background and some key characters in the book watches her from a distance.

A digital illustrated book cover titled The Season of Styx Malone
It shows a Black boy with a cap and sunglasses on, her smirks to the viewer, and within his glasses you see the reflection of 2 other Black boys, one smiling back at him with enthusiasm while the other smiles more hesitantly.

A digital illustrated book cover of a picture book titled Bessie the Motorcycle Queen.
It shows Bessie Stringfield on her iconic Hogs (Harleys) against a backdrop of the Grand Canyon.

Ahhhh I hope so! I'm sure tho you're good at that too! I feel like my own lettering skills aren't good enough right now. But I learn more with every new short comic I work on. :))

I just updated my Buy Me a Coffee ☕ with a new bank account, now that I've moved to another country.

No pressure! Just wanted to share my Tip Jar link ☺️

Drawing comics can sometimes be quite draining. The moment I see a colored/complete page, I get all the energy back!!! ✨✨✨ #comics
